[2021 Chemistry PhD Admissions Results]

For everyone in organic waiting for a reply from Berkeley, just got a reply from professor I had been in contact with, said if we didnt hear anything yet an acceptance is a long shot as all first round offers have been sent. Said theyre accepting a really small class due to COVID

Just now, ashortchemist said:

I was also rejected from Vanderbilt on Friday night, and I applied organic as well. The research fit was admittedly poor and I only applied to have another chance to stay with my boyfriend. It was shocking none the less, as I’ve been accepted into multiple top 20 programs with large fellowships. 

I contacted my PI about it and she said she heard Vanderbilt Orgo was really struggling with money, so please don’t beat yourself up about it too much. 
 

Sincerely hoping your remaining 8 are all acceptances

 

Thank you!! Best wishes for you moving forward. Was definitely surprised to get denied to Emory and Vanderbilt when I got accepted to Purdue. Oh well, all ya need is one right?

Update for those in the organic division, Purdue accepted me January 14th at like 1 am and have been declined from Emory and Vanderbilt. Still waiting to hear from 8 schools. Waiting on 3 different UC schools.
